'We endorse the idea of voluntarism; self-responsibility: Family, friends, and churches to solve problems, rather than saying that some monolithic government is going to make you take care of yourself and be a better person. It's a preposterous notion: It never worked, it never will. The government can't make you a better person; it can't make you follow good habits.' - Ron Paul 1988

Except as to the rule of apportionment, the United States have an indefinite discretion to make requisitions for men and money; but they have no authority to raise either by regulations extending to the individual citizens of America.

So is there a safe place to park 401k funds besides pulling them completely out? Money Markets? Foreign Bonds?

Don't use money markets. They may bust the buck, and you will have no recourse. Supposedly new rules have been silently put into place to allow money market funds to easily switch to a floating NAV (i.e. no longer a dollar).

You might want to look into why these people are selling stocks rather than creating your own hypothesis. Paulson, for example, has a huge hedge fund company which has not been doing too well lately.

Paulson has a lot of stuff to liquidate.

During Q3 2012 Berkshire's (BRK.A) (BRK.B) US long stock portfolio increased marginally from $74.3B to $75.3B. The total number of holdings increased from 37 to 38 this quarter. The new positions are Deere & Company (DE), Media General (MEG), Precision Castparts (PCP) and Wabco Holding (WBC). Combined, they account for less than 1% of the US long portfolio. Stake eliminations were CVS Caremark Corp. (CVS), Dollar General (DG), and Ingersoll-Rd (IR). This was a fairly active quarter with minor adjustments made to several positions along with a few big changes - only 16 of the 38 stocks in the portfolio remained steady this quarter. As with the last quarter, the largest five positions and their allocations remained steady. Combined, they account for around 75% of the overall portfolio value.
